Gurt't haniit art tied, ae hourly 'Teeste LeNoir and his Indian atliet take Sonya nearer Karakhan Chapter 4! THE MEETING CONY A made herself stop thinking 01 anytning neyona tomorrow morning. She would need all her strength and poise (or her meeting with Karakhan. It would be fatal to brood about the future and let it unnerve her. The future must take care of Itself. All that dav her thoughts had been running on her father; and now. on the trip up the dark river, they came back to blm, and she tried to feel that he was with her In spirit, watching over her safety again as he had done during that white Siberian winter. As she looked above the tree tops and saw the Sacred W hanging In the northeast sky, she remembered the long -ago evening In distant Irkutsk when he had Srst pointed It out to her and Carl, and recalled winter nights In the Lena Woods when the three of them bad lain huddled together, without Ore or shelter, listening tor enemies and watching the constellations swing around the pole star. Now be and Carl were gone, and under the far-northern Canadian sky she was watching those con stellations alone. Dead, be and Carl, ber aienfolk who had been all the world to her she dared not let ber self think of them as dead, tor It was only recently that rhe had pulled herself out of the black bot tomless tragedy of their deaths and found heart to go on living. Karakhan was reading a batch of month-old newspapers that mid- night when the three runners came Into his cabin with LeNolr's report. Tbe moment he heard about the escape of Ralston and hla partner, be made up bis mind to get away In bis plane as soon as he had light enough for flying. The reassurance which LeNoir relayed that those two ha'! fled south and tbe main band was coming north as a guard reassured him not at all. Sharpened by twenty years of keeping ahead of the law, his Intui tion told him It was time to. go. That fellow Ralston bad a charmed life. He wavered over what to do about Sonya. On Helen Mathleson, or any of the others, he would not have wasted a thougbt; but Sonya Volkov stood out by herself, one of the rare personalities of his life time. In the last few days be had been thinking of her till she had be come a madness In his blood; and all the clamorous Impulses within him rebelled at the thought of leav ing ber there. She would go along with him will ingly: her passionate letter left no doubt that she would follow him to the world's end. On tbe swift flight to Mexico she would be an Impedi ment, true enough an extra person would cut down the gas load, and Inquisitive officials along the coast might ask questions, since be would be flying with a girl. But the risk was slight, his bi'rden would be a precious burdon, and when be got to Mexico be would have her there with him! After throwing bis personal af fects Into a duffle bag. he went down to the hangar, turned the Speedalr o that It headed lakeward; and untied all tbe mooring ropes except one sllp-hltch around a pontoon brace. Once he started to make bis get-away; It would be distinctly wise to go In a hurry.' He wanted to be skimming out upon tbs lake, beyond canoe and rifle reach, before his Intention burst upon LeNoir and Slam-Klale. They were going to turn ugly when they real I ted be was escaping and le'.ting them hold the sack. The Speedalr was so vital to him that be ordored a pair of Klosobees, two of hla bodyguard whom be could trust, to stay there at the hangar and guard the ship. It was Just possible that LeNoir might suspect dim of wanting to escape and might try to cripple the plane. Ai dawn, when the ten canoes came swinging around the timbered headland, he was standing on tbe log pier, waiting. Strung out for several hundred yards, the flotilla skirled up along the shore toward hlra till at last, with pulses ham KMED Broadcast Schedule Sunday A. Kt -10 00 Judge Hutherford.

Sonya rose up, . swaying slightly to the rocking of the water. Karakhan reached her hand, clasped It, helped her step up on the logs. "Sonya!" He greeted ber In their native tongue. "You have really cornel I haven't quite believed It until now!" Sonya's clear eye looked at him steadily. She did not respond to the pressure of bis hand. "Yes, I've come," she said. In an even voice. "I'm glad to meet you again." Karakhan was disappointed and puzzled. Her greeting had none of the passion of ber letter. But per haps It was only her natural shy ness before LeNoir and the Indians. "You're tired," be sald.wlth a show of solicitude. He could not take bis eyes from her tbe golden softness of her balr, tbe loveliness of ber face and throat "Come np with me to the cabin. I've a break fast of sorts ready for you." He lowered bis voice, though none of his listeners knew a sentence of Russian: "Then we're leaving here. Immediately. I'll explain, dearest, when we're alone and a thousand versts from this place." As tbey walked up the footpath to the cabin, he grew more and more disappointed and mystified by Son ya's attitude. This meeting with her was not as he bad expected. She seemed even colder and more dis tant than In Victoria, when be had so dismally failed of a conquest INSIDE the cabin be took her forc ibly Into his arms and kissed her, thinking It would break down her shyness. Sonya turned ber face away, and he felt her whole body stiffen at tbe mere contact with blm. It seemed. "What's wrong, Sonya?" ha de manded. "Yon don't appear at all glad." Ha was Impatient with her coldness and utter lack of response. Sonya freed herself, without an swering. She stepped over to the rough block table and behind It so that It stood between ber and Kara khan. Wltb a glance about the room acd a glance at the Indians out side, she confronted blm. "It's been a long trail from Vic toria here," she said, dropping the last pretense of friendliness. "And It was a long hunt before that to get my first trace of where you'd gone. When I look back. It seems as though I've had one continuous miracle of luck In finding you. But that's past I'm here.' Karakhan stared wide-eyed at her, with all his ardor forsaking htm. He saw, at last that her coldness was no girlish make-believe but a dead earnestness. The expression In her eyes made him suddenly afraid. "Your conquests wltb women have always been so easy," she went on, "that you can't Imagine any woman not falling In love with you, and so when you get a letter from one that called you 'Beloved' when she meant 'You white beast' you swallowed tbe hook and sent your msn to bring ber to you. ".You were proof against traps and poison and the professional police bounds, but you weren't proof against that lure! You've had your way with a great number of women and you came to regard them aa harmloss things. But where men all the men ever sent after you tailed to bring yoy to account It was a woman who trailed you, and reached here, end's here now!" Karakhan backs- up a step and bla law dropped. It anything of bis delusion about her remained, the loathing packed into that epithet You white beast" toppled It and shattered It to bits. A suspicion Tolled through him did she know? Had she found out? Impossible; he had worked too carefully and anony mously. But was anything Impos sible to one who had trailed him as consummately as she had doneT Her next words left blm In no doubt "There In Victoria, when you started negotiating with father and Carl about that lumber Importation, 1 told thorn that you were a dan gerous man, as dangerous as a cobra. They didn't take my warn ing, because 1 had no evidence ex cept my Intangible Judgment of you.
